DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote handling device such as that handled by an automatic teller machine, for example, and more specifically to a banknote processing device that handles banknotes during a banknote transaction and a banknote collection system that collects banknotes at the time of banknote replenishment. The present invention relates to a banknote handling device that can collect banknotes separately.

(B) Background of the Invention Generally, as shown in FIG. 7, a cartridge installed in an automatic teller machine, etc.
Cartridges 72 and 73 for each denomination of 1,000 yen and 10,000 yen, a distribution cartridge 74 for replenishing banknotes, and a collection cartridge 75 for collecting banknotes with poor identification are connected. 7
At step 2.73, banknotes are distributed and stored according to denomination, and at the time of banknote transaction, the deposit and withdrawal process is performed between the deposit/withdrawal roller and the denomination-specific cartridges 72 and 73, and the transaction is performed.

By the way, when the banknotes that are conveyed through the deposit/withdrawal path 71 are controlled to be conveyed, the authenticity and denomination of the banknotes are normally verified when they pass through the banknote validation section 77 , and banknotes that have failed to be verified are collected into the collection cartridge 75 . ing.

However, during mid-term replenishment of banknotes, both banknotes with bad discrimination generated during this replenishment and banknotes with bad discrimination generated during transaction are collected in the same collection cartridge 75. There was a problem in that it was difficult to distinguish between transaction banknotes and supply banknotes, making it impossible to sort them accurately during inspection, resulting in inappropriate banknote management.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide a banknote processing device that can distinguish and manage collected banknotes generated during transactions and collected banknotes generated during replenishment.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a transaction cartridge that can be connected to and removed from a banknote deposit/withdrawal route, a replenishment cartridge,
The present invention is characterized by a banknote processing device including a transaction collection section that stores collected banknotes generated during transactions, and a replenishment and collection section that stores collected banknotes generated during replenishment.

(E) Effect of the Invention In this invention, the collected banknotes generated during transactions are collected in the transaction collection section, and the collected banknotes generated during replenishment are treated with U acid in the replenishment and collection section.

(F) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, banknotes can be separated and collected in separate collection units according to the time of transaction and the time of replenishment of banknotes. It can be accurately sorted into banknotes.

Therefore, during inspection, it is possible to accurately determine the total number of banknotes supplied and the total number of banknotes being transacted.As a result, it is possible to properly manage banknotes by accurately understanding the remaining number of banknotes to be traded in each denomination cartridge during operation. Become.

This eliminates the need for staff to perform cumbersome operations such as replenishment settings each time the staff replenishes, and the load on the staff can be reliably reduced.

In addition, if the replenishment cartridge is equipped with a replenishment recovery section,
With this cartridge, the replenishment operation and collection operation for the replenishment banknotes can be performed, and all the replenishment banknotes can be properly managed.

Furthermore, if the transaction collection section and the replenishment collection section are formed with one cartridge, all the failed banknotes can be collected with this one cartridge, and the collection section can be configured efficiently.

(g) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The drawing shows a banknote processing device built into an automatic teller machine, and in FIG. These cartridges 13, 14, and 15 are connected to each other via a banknote deposit/withdrawal path 16 configured in a circulating manner, and a replenishment cartridge 17 for replenishing banknotes is connected to these cartridges 13, 14, and 15.

Then, at the time of banknote transaction, a transaction operation is performed between the deposit/withdrawal port 12 and each cartridge 13.14 for each denomination to feed and take in the banknote and process the deposit/withdrawal.

Further, when replenishing banknotes, the banknotes fed out from the replenishment cartridge 17 are transferred and replenished by each denomination into the cartridges 13 and 14 for each denomination.

By the way, the above-mentioned deposit/withdrawal route 16 includes a bill validator 18.
This discrimination unit 18 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, and number of bills conveyed during bill transactions and bill replenishment, and at this time, bills that are judged incorrectly are sent to a collection cartridge (described later). Collect and process at 15.

The above-mentioned collection cartridge 15 is divided into two collection sections, a transaction collection section 19 and a supply collection section 20. One of the transaction collection sections 19 stores collected banknotes generated during transactions, and the other one stores the collected banknotes generated during transactions. The replenishment and collection unit 20 is set to store collected banknotes generated during replenishment, and separates and collects collected banknotes depending on the type of banknotes at the time of transaction and at the time of replenishment.

Therefore, it is possible to sort the collected banknotes into replenishment and collection banknotes and transaction and collection banknotes, and it is possible to accurately determine the total number of replenished banknotes and the total number of transactional banknotes at the time of inspection.

By the way, the above-mentioned replenishment cartridge 17 is designed to be used exclusively for loading and unloading 1,000 yen bills and 10,000 yen bills, and by providing this replenishment cartridge 17 exclusively for loading and unloading, it is possible to collect all banknotes of different denominations at once. I am making it possible to do WIIR by doing so.

FIG. 2 shows a control circuit block diagram of the banknote processing device, and C
The PU21 controls each circuit device according to the program stored in the ROM22, and sends the controlled input/output data to the RA.
Store in M23.

The drive motor 24 drives and controls the deposit/withdrawal path 16 based on input information from the CPU 21, and the sensor S is disposed in front of the cartridge taking-in section and the feeding-out section to manage the state of bill insertion and withdrawal. .

Further, the flapper f is similarly arranged at the front stage of each cartridge and at the branching part of the deposit/withdrawal route 16, and controls the distribution of the banknotes being conveyed according to input information.

Next, the banknote processing operation will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, when replenishing banknotes as shown in FIG. 3, in a first step 31, the replenishment cartridge 17 loaded with all the banknotes to be traded in the 1,000-yen hole and the 1,000-yen banknote is attached to the main body of the apparatus. Then, in a second step 32, when the staff member presses the replenishment key to dispense from the installed replenishment cartridge 17, after controlling the distribution of the seven floppers f on each transport route in a predetermined direction, the banknotes are dispensed from the replenishment cartridge 17. Pay out one by one.

At this time, the sensor S confirms whether or not the feeding operation is normal, and the bill discriminating unit 18 checks the fed-out banknotes.
After identifying the authenticity and denomination, if it is a 1,000 yen bill, count the number of bills and then store them in the 1,000 yen cartridge 13.If it is a 1,000 yen bill, count the number and then store it in the 1,000 yen cartridge 13. Store in 14. And abnormal feeding such as two pieces,
Alternatively, if the banknotes are counterfeit banknotes or banknotes other than 1,000 yen and 10,000 yen holes, open the flapper f corresponding to the replenishment and collection section 20 of the collection cartridge 15, store the banknotes in this replenishment and collection section 20, and check the number of banknotes stored. Count. In the third step 33, this replenishment cartridge 17 continues to be fed out until it becomes empty. When all the bills have been fed out and the cartridge is empty, the feeding operation of this cartridge 17 is stopped, and at the time when this feeding is completed, supply data is stored. When this replenishment operation is completed, in a fourth step 34, the number of distributed coins for each denomination controlled to be distributed to each cartridge is calculated by a form processing device (not shown).
After printing, the start key is pressed in the fifth step 35, and in the sixth step 36, the normal operation mode is entered and operation is started.

Next, when inspecting the banknotes in FIG. 4, in step 11 41, when the clerk presses the inspection key,
Bills are fed out from the thousand yen cartridge 13 and ten thousand yen cartridge 14 in order to be collected all at once into the replenishment cartridge 17.

At this time, the sensor S confirms whether or not the feeding operation is normal, and the bill discriminating unit 18 checks the fed-out banknotes.
Authenticity and denomination are discriminated, and if normal, the number of stored coins is counted for each denomination and stored in the supply cartridge 17.

In this case, if there is an abnormal dispensing such as two bills being dispensed, or if it is impossible to identify them, the recovered cartridge 1 will be treated as a traded bill.
5 is collected by the transaction collection unit 19.

In addition, this transaction collection unit 19 has already collected banknotes that have been misidentified and occurred during normal deposit/withdrawal transactions. Then, the twelfth step 42
Then, the feeding operation of the thousand yen/ten thousand yen cartridges 13 and 14 continues until they are empty, and when all the fed bills are collected by the replenishment cartridge 17, at the time of completion of this collection, transaction collection data is stored, At a thirteenth step 43, the number of stored coins for each denomination that has been collectively collected and transferred is printed on a journal via the form processing device. After this transfer operation is completed, in the fourteenth step 44, the supply cartridge 17 that has collected all the banknotes at once is taken out to the outside, so that the thousand yen bill and the ten thousand yen hole can be efficiently taken out with this one cartridge 17. .

In this case, if there are collected banknotes on the collection cartridge 15 side, this collection cartridge 15 is also removed.

In this way, by forming the transaction collection section 19 and the supply collection section 20 with one collection cartridge 15, it is possible to collect all the banknotes that have been judged incorrectly at once, and the collection section can be configured efficiently. In addition, since collected banknotes can be distinguished between those for replenishment and those for replenishment, they can be automatically inspected and processed, eliminating the need for staff to perform cumbersome replenishment settings for replenishment special calls.
The load on staff can be definitely reduced.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a replenishment cartridge 17a is provided with a replenishment recovery section 20a,
This replenishment cartridge 17a performs a replenishment operation and a collection operation for the replenished banknotes, thereby facilitating the management of all the replenishment banknotes.

Next, the processing operation of the banknote processing apparatus during intermediate replenishment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

At the 21st step 61, when the 217 end signal of the million yen hole is issued while the device main body is currently operating, the 22nd step 61
At step 2, a replenishment process for dispensing banknotes from the replenishment cartridge 17a is started. At this time, the dispensed banknote passes through the banknote discrimination section 18 and is subjected to discrimination processing in a twenty-third step 63, and if the banknote is a ten thousand yen hole, it is passed through a twenty-fourth step 64.
If the banknotes are stored in the 1,000 yen cartridge 14 and are 1,000 yen bills, then in a 25th step 65, the banknotes are stored in the 1,000 yen cartridge 13 and sequentially distributed and replenished. At this time, if the banknotes cannot be identified, they are stored in the replenishment storage section 20a of the replenishment cartridge 17a as replenishment banknotes in a twenty-sixth step 66.

As mentioned above, since it is possible to accurately sort and collect banknotes for replenishment and collection and for transactions, the total number of replenishment banknotes and total number of transaction banknotes can be automatically determined at the time of inspection. Banknotes can be managed appropriately, such as by being able to accurately determine the remaining number of bills to be traded in the cartridge for each denomination.
